April Review

Time flies, and although it has been an ordinary month, I want to note the highlights of the events that occurred in April, as I usually do for the other months. After several weeks of visiting the dentist almost every week, I am finally concluding my dental treatment. I am happy with the results. Although there were times I felt scared and doubted the process, I can now see and experience the benefits. I have been dealing with these dental issues for many years, and fortunately, I now have the resources and time to invest in a definitive solution. It’s incredible that I haven’t run in any races this year, which is one of my favorite activities. Currently, I only spend a couple of hours running. This month, I decided to participate in a 6K. I noticed that I am not as fast as I used to be, but I managed to complete it. As a bonus, I enjoyed the experience with friends who also decided to run. This month, we elected a new president—or more accurately, we are continuing with our current l...

Hard choices, easy life

 Throughout my adult life, I have been thinking about the choices that made me the person I am today, from choosing my career path to moving to another job. These decisions always had an impact on long term of my life.  And this is not something that you inherently know, but you must experience by yourself. When I was a teenager, I was not aware that life can turn complicated when you choose to make easy decisions. Although my parents and teachers always taught me that sacrifice is required if you want to succeed. Thinking about my future was not something I spent my time and energy on. Whenever an important decision was looming, I hoped until last time to take action. That was the reason I ended up deciding on my current career. Because I was afraid of making a bad decision and ruining my life, so I spent my time daydreaming instead of working on it. It was not until the last few years that I realized that I needed action and planning if I wanted to improve both, my career an...

Going back to reading

Last year I started to retake the old hobby of reading books, when I decided to learn English I was improving my reading skills by acquiring new vocabulary, words, and phrases. It became notoriously better when I took daily reading articles on the internet, mostly related to the environment, technology and science, a little nerdy, but it worked! Over time, I understood more and more about the complex grammar rules of this language. The challenge was when I brought a series of books to read. I chose them based on what I listened to in videos. Despite not having a full comprehension, I could finish them. The sensation of being able to read books in a new language was incredible, although I was aware I needed to improve.  Now after many years of continuous learning, I came back to read again, now I decided to read e-books I found them more accessible and enjoyable. Whenever I found a word, I could search for the meaning in a translator and come back to the book quickly.  Now, I i...

April Review

March has gone, and with that the first trimester of 2025. This year has had a lot of challenges and surprises, and as usual I am going to summarize some things and events have occurred and what to expect next month.  Earlier that month, I started my dental treatment. After almost 3 years of being faced with a severe gum recession, I decided to start a final treatment. During this month, I have been feeling a huge relief even though I still don't finish the treatment. The improvement is notorious.  I turned six months since I was hired in my current job, and although there were some ups and downs, I learned a lot during that time. Currently, and despite not completing a year, I am thinking about moving from another job in the next months, so only time will tell whether to continue here.  My mom's birthday and some family events, as always, fill my heart with joy every time I can stay. While working, I have focused on external things instead of being grateful for what I ha...
